Review of Tim Ellis exhibition at Spacex, Exeter

On Saturday 12th March, I attended the launch of Tim Ellis’s exhibition ‘The Tourist’ at Spacex, Exeter. I’ve posted a review of the show on the Interface section of the a-n website.

The body of new work, a mix of sculptures, installation and paintings, sits well in the varied room spaces at Spacex. The work is amusing and witty, drawing together aspects of Modernist aesthetic with contemporary bricollage to critique the certainties or ideals of the Modern, and to question our easy dismissal of Modernist aspirations.
